Ageless Mysteries
Welcome to the Ageless Mysteries

Thea March is a Watch Officer, sworn to protect the citizens of Accanter. On the surface, she has a perfectly ordinary life. She does her job, shares a home with her widowed mother and a large and sometimes grumpy cat.

Except that nothing is quite what it seems. For a start, Thea is not quite human. And the other heritage that she carries has made her vulnerable most of her life to the whims of the Ageless.

The Ageless Mysteries are set in an imagined world ruled by the Ageless, winged beings with unimaginably long life spans and arrogance to match. The city of Accanter, where Thea lives, is home to a mix of peoples from humans to night kind to nairiad to Ageless-born, to name but a few.

Thea's efforts to keep order are helped, and sometimes hindered, by Niath, a powerful mage with secrets of his own, and a growing group of friends, enemies and allies around the city.

The Ageless Mysteries will be a six book series following Thea's adventures, starting from only a few weeks after she has been promoted to Watch Officer. As with my other series, it's designed to be read in order.  Later books contain spoilers for previous books. I've tried to avoid too many spoilers in the book descriptions below, but if you're like me and you prefer to follow the story from beginning to end, reading in order is definitely recommended.

Information about the books can be found below.

The books will initially be available as e-books only, through Amazon, but I do plan to do print versions in the future.

Deadly Night
Ageless Mysteries - Book 1

Can she serve justice in an unjust world?

Newly-promoted Watch Officer Thea March is assigned her very first death investigation. Someone has brutally killed a young woman and dumped her body in an empty warehouse. The only real clue left at the scene points to one of the elite – the Ageless – as being involved.

The Watch might ignore one anonymous woman’s death, but when more bodies appear, killed in the same way, the deaths attract the attention of the ruling elite, and Mage Niath is assigned to work with Thea to hunt down the killer.

Having spent most of her life trying to avoid attracting the attention of the elite, the last thing that Thea wants is a prominent mage shadowing her every move.

But they will have to depend on each other, and all the skills at their disposal, to hunt down and stop the killer.

Deadly Night, Ageless Mysteries - Book 1, is available now an e-book on Amazon, and you can find it through the link below:

False Dawn
Ageless Mysteries - Book 2

In the city of Accanter, forgeries can cost lives.

Someone is faking the ruler’s currency in her home city. And unless Thea can find out who is doing it, no one will be safe from the Archon’s and the Ageless’ wrath.

Thea just wants to do her job. Catch the criminals. Keep the people safe.

If only life was that simple.

Assigned to a new investigation, she has barely started her enquiry when Mage Niath appears, wanting her help at the one place in the city she does not want to go. The Citadel.

She wants to say no, but fake coins have been turning up and unless Thea can prove otherwise, innocent people will be killed in the Ageless’ quest for revenge.

Morning Trap

Ageless Mysteries - Book 3


Beneath the unrelenting sun of Accanter's summer, an ugly conspiracy is underway.


A desperate mother asks Watch Officer Thea March for help. Her daughter has gone missing. No one else at Thea's Watch Station will help the mother.


More bad news follows when a body is found. A young man who had gone missing some time before and whose death her superior officer wants to write off as natural causes. Thea realises that there is something else going on. Something dark and ugly and far more wide-spread than she could have imagined. There is corruption at the heart of the Watch.


Thea is determined to find the truth, but not sure who she can trust. And it looks like someone wants her and Mage Niath dead.


With their lives in danger, and more bodies found, Thea and Niath must work together once more to stop the ugly conspiracy before more people die.


Morning Trap continues Thea's story which started in Deadly Night, and is available now.

Assassin's Noon

Ageless Mysteries - Book 4


One dead man. A fortified house full of innocent people.

One of the city's wealthiest and most powerful residents is found dead in his own home. Murder is suspected, but the house was supposed to be absolutely secure against any intruder. Thea is faced with a hostile group of household servants inside the house and demands for swift justice outside its walls.

Working with Mage Niath, it doesn't take long to realise that it's not a straightforward death and the dead man has ties to opponents they have faced before.

Can Thea uncover the truth of the death before the tensions in the city spill over and more deaths occur?

Assassin's Noon is the fourth book in the Ageless Mysteries series, and continues Thea's story which started in Deadly Night - you can get your copy through the link below.

Flightless Afternoon

Ageless Mysteries - Book 5


With one of their own dead, the ruling elite want answers.

The unthinkable has happened. One of the Ageless has been killed, their body left in a public space, displayed for all to see.

The Archon is furious and threatens to burn the entire city, unless the person responsible is found and turned over to her for justice.

Thea March is called on to investigate again. As little as she wants to turn anyone over to the Archon, she also knows that the Ageless could burn the city to the ground and not care about the death and destruction they cause.

Working with Niath, can Thea find the person responsible for the Ageless' death? And, if she finds them, can she bring herself to turn them over to the Archon?

Flightless Afternoon is the fifth book in the Ageless Mysteries series, and continues Thea's story which started in Deadly Night and you can get your copy through the link below.

Ascension Day

Ageless Mysteries - Book 6


Caught in the middle of two powerful forces, can Thea find a way to survive?

The Archon has ordered a day of celebration to mark her ascension to power. While most people in the city are looking forward to a day off and an excuse to drink and eat too much, Thea and the rest of the city's Watch are on high alert.

The Archon and the Ageless might be the rulers and the most powerful beings in the world, but they are not well liked. And there's a human faction that wants to see them fall.

After a difficult few months, Thea just wants to do her job and keep the city as safe as possible. The Archon and the human faction have other ideas and Thea finds herself in the middle of their conflict while trying to solve some apparently unconnected murders.

Neither the Ageless nor the humans care who else might get hurt in their power struggle, so it's up to Thea and her allies to try and stop the coming disaster.

Ascension Day is the sixth and final book in the Ageless Mysteries series and is available now - you can get your copy through the link below.
